I have walked in a fog for the last few weeks. My brain focused on everything wrong in my life. I felt tired and drained. Instead of cleaning my house, I watched TV or surfed the internet in my spare time. Feeling down, I was tempted to reach for food. Even though my eating was better, my depressed mind convinced me I had gained weight. Since I did not like these feelings, I reached out to God. He showed me He cares about everything going on in my life.

1 Peter 5:7 is, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015). God wants all of my cares, even my embarrassing fear that I will never get it together. I am not perfect, so I will keep making mistakes. More than likely, I will never get my act together. God wants me to turn to Him instead of striving for perfection. He cares for me and loves me, even though I have faults.
